I want to use vim on many servers, where in repository it compiled without ruby and python support. But syntax plugins work fine on it. And other things looks normal, when i trying to edit python file.
I will use it with plenty of filetypes (configs, logs, sourcecode and other), and i want to know the difference and decide to use repository’s version or compiled by myself
The optional Python, Ruby, Perl or Scheme supports allow script developers to write vim plugins in their chosen languages. Vim will, when compiled in, provide a small interface for interacting. It doesn’t affect the syntax files or indentations etc. They are written in VimScript.
There are quite a few nontrivial Vim plugins that use Python so at least compiling Vim with Python support will expand your options with plugins in noticeable manner.
